send-instances VS magic-wormhole

There is also Send.Vis.ee, which is a community fork of Firefox Send. It has always worked very well for me personally. There are many public instances available with varying sizes and expiring conditions.

- Website: https://send.vis.ee/

- Source: https://github.com/timvisee/send

- List of instances at: https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances

I think "Send" is perfect for u.

Could you share the project file, pretty please? :D Maybe using OnionShare (https://onionshare.org/) or Firefox Send (https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances/)?

Signal has 100MB file size limit. Photos still get compressed so you should prolly send it as a zip. Otherwise use a send instance to upload your pictures for download. Use one that is the latest version and has a maintainer and contact info. You can also try Imgur and make your images only available via links and then link them in discord for easy viewing. But again Imgur compresses.

I know good places, check these: https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances/

anyone can host it and there are lots of instances, some with generous file limits: https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances/

They have a list of instances

An alternative to typical email attachments would be uploading the documents to an (ex-Firefox) Send instance, which would then self destruct after a certain period of time or a certain number of downloads.

dispite that the website looks clean, however I would still recommand a Send instance for now.

Please consider to add your instance to this list if you're open to share it publicly.

Some CLI alternatives if you don't need the GUI:

Croc: https://github.com/schollz/croc

Magic-Wormhole: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

I used to use MW but switched to croc as the single binary was easier to deploy.

On a similar note, can someone tell me what's the fastest (wireless) way to transfer files between two laptops on same network (i.e. hotspot)?

scp, rsync, wormhole give me only 2-3 mb/s.

What's causing the bottleneck here and what am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Check out wormhole. It works on Linux, Windows and MacOS, keeps your data entirely on the private network and uses HTTP as the underlying transfer vehicle. Since HTTP isn't nearly as bothered by high latency (as compared to SMB or FTP), this is probably as fast as you will be able to transfer files on that high latency network.

There's the python magic-wormhole if you want a 1-to-1 data transfer just to OP by sharing the info through a chat/dm/whatever.

I prefer bashupload.com or transfer.sh for this. Both alternatives have worked well for me.

Alternatively, you can check out magic wormhole (for a more secure transfer of files between two terminals): https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

If you do happen to have internet access, this tool is the best: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
